. >> jennifer: now mayor, are there easy ways for people like tom to transition into local factories that might be hiring? >> there are few opportunities in freeport but tom is in a unique system. his age and education goes against him, but his passion and legacy of hard work are attributed to him, and there could be opportunities for tom and the rest of the workers. the workers aren't slouches. they don't work on widgets, they work on high-tolerance machinery, they are educated and globally competitive, and they have shown that in the marketplace where there is about a 40% margin on these products already. so you have great people like tom who have some things going against him, but his passion, hard work, and love for the community are one thing that will hopefully help him get through. >> jennifer: mayor the human costs of all of this outsourcing cannot be overstated. i really appreciate you coming on to explain. just a quick postscript by the way to this story. also want to let you know about another company that bain capital owns and that's bane purchased that company in michiga

it's an uphill climb especially after the debate there was extra local attention on that debate. there was so much residual coverage of that in the local media here that president obama's performance and mitt romney's performance played an especially huge role. >> jennifer: you think because of the local coverage coupled with the national coverage you got really saturated? >> that's absolutely right. it wasn't just the national story, it was local radio and television, and there was a before and after on all of this. >> jennifer: there still is. we're still talking about it too. so tell us about the mood of the conservative -- i know you have a radio show where you have a lot of conservative listeners so i assume they are feeling their oats for mitt romney? feeling really good? >> here is what is worrisome, i sense that the enthusiasm is on romney's side. the organization is on the democratic side, but there is a lot of enthusiasm, not necessarily for mitt romney but for the idea that mitt romney can defeat president obama. i feel like there are a lot of conservative voters in th

some people might say that the local control allows them to tailor a campaign to the local issues. but you also don't have as much of a romney feel to it. so i guess that's the disadvantage. >> as i'm sure you know from being in politics, local parties can be very disorganized. they can have a lot of organizational issues and they certainly don't have the sophistication and the rigor you need for a national campaign when you're using these types of microtrargt -- microtargetting. for romney, there are crucial states where the republican party is strong. florida has a strong republican party and so does virginia. there are other swing states where the republican party is in disarray such as nevada and iowa and even ohio, the republican party there is still recovering from a leadership fight. >> jennifer: that's amazing to me. now, you talked about that it might get 2 to 4 points of a bump for those who are organized well like the obama campaign. having seen all of this, as you look at the lay of the land, do you think that the president will get in fact a 2 to 4 point bump from the
